Before You Start a Personal Trainer Business...

It is important to remember that every Personal Trainer will begin his or her career in a different environment.

We highly recommend beginning your career "under the umbrella" of a health club or private training facility and with the guidance of a mentor who has been in the industry longer. The knowledge and experience you gain here will prove to be invaluable when it does come time to open your own facility or franchise.

It will also open your eyes to what your likes and dislikes are and will get your gears turning on what works most efficiently for you in terms of team building, organization, sales techniques, fitness program design, facility upkeep, and business marketing, among other things.
